Interpretation:
The table is to be completed by writing the chemical formulas for each of the compounds. The name of each compound is to be stated with the help of Latin system nomenclature.
Concept introduction:
Binary compounds are defined as those ionic compounds that contain metal ions connected to nonmetal ions. The overall charge of such compounds is neutral because the oppositely charged metal cations and nonmetal anions are bonded to each other.
In the chemical formula of binary compounds, the cation is present before the anion.
According to the Latin system of nomenclature, the compounds are named by adding suffix-ous or –ic to the Latin name of the metal ion.
Answer to Problem 65E
The complete table is shown below.
IONS | hydroxide ion | sulfate ion | phosphate ion |
mercurous ion | mercurous hydroxide |
mercurous sulfate |
mercurous phosphate |
ferrous ion | ferrous hydroxide |
ferrous sulfate |
ferrous phosphate |
stannous ion | stannous hydroxide |
stannous sulfate |
stannous phosphate |
Explanation of Solution
In the Latin system of nomenclature, the lower charge ion uses an –ous suffix and the ion with higher charge uses an –ic suffix to their Latin name.
The name of the compound that is formed by the combination of mercurous ion and hydroxide ion is mercurous hydroxide. It contains positively charged mercurous ion,
The name of the compound that is formed by the combination of mercurous ion and sulfate ion is mercurous sulfate. It contains positively charged mercurous ion,
The name of the compound that is formed by the combination of mercurous ion and phosphate ion is mercurous phosphate. It contains positively charged mercurous ion,
The name of the compound that is formed by the combination of ferrous ion and hydroxide ion is ferrous hydroxide. It contains positively charged ferrous ion,
The name of the compound that is formed by the combination of ferrous ion and sulfate ion is ferrous sulfate. It contains positively charged ferrous ion,
The name of the compound that is formed by the combination of ferrous ion and phosphate ion is ferrous phosphate. It contains positively charged ferrous ion,
The name of the compound that is formed by the combination of stannous ion and hydroxide ion is stannous hydroxide. It contains positively charged stannous ion,
The name of the compound that is formed by the combination of stannous ion and sulfate ion is stannous sulfate. It contains positively charged stannous ion,
The name of the compound that is formed by the combination of stannous ion and phosphate ion is stannous phosphate. It contains positively charged stannous ion,
The complete table is shown below.

Once you correctly connect the atoms in the interactive website, a common use for that compound will be revealed. In this worksheet, you must record both the correct formula for each of the seven ionic compounds and their common uses as revealed by the interactive program. Throughout the activity, you will have the option of skipping each compound – if you choose to do this, its common use will not be revealed. You must correctly write the formulas and match the common uses. Website for first simulation: https://www.learner.org/wp-content/interactive/periodic/bonding Click “Begin” on the first page you see.
